Don't enter a trade if you are unsure of the trend.
  • 64. When in doubt, get out, and don't get in when in doubt. Only trade active stocks Distribute your risks equally among different markets. Extra money from successful trades should be placed in a separate account. Never average a loss. Things to be avoided while trading & investing
  • 65. Never get out of the market because you have lost patience, or get in because you are anxiously waiting. Avoid taking small profits and large losses. Avoid getting in and out of the market too soon. Be willing to make money from both sides of the market. Never buy or sell just because the price is low or high. Things to be avoided while trading & investing
  • 66. Never change your position without a good reason. Don't try to guess tops or bottoms. Don't follow a blind man's advice. When you lose don't blame it on luck. Things to be avoided while trading & investing
  • 67. Attributes of good investors One should be a good Manager and not day trader. A well diversified portfolio. Investment in good shares. Have patience.
